Dayton

Heidelberg Distributing Company

Dayton is where Heidelberg's founder started out in 1938. Back then, just five years after the end of Prohibition, brewers did not deliver very far from home. Albert W. Vontz was among the first to drive a truck directly from the Heidelberg brewery in Covington, Kentucky 65 miles away to the Dayton market. There he would store the beer in a warehouse, take orders from Dayton retailers and then deliver the beer to local stores.

Today, Heidelberg purchases some 5,000 items of beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages from around the world for the Dayton market. Three hundred people are employed at our 779,000 square-feet facility.

We are divided into four sales divisions: Heidelberg Wine Division, Heidelberg Beer Division, Allied Wine and Anheuser-Busch Division. Each sales division is led by its own team of sales managers and sales professionals.
